It was that Varryn (spelling) thing, correct? I recall because daddy exploded with rage when she mentioned she made one for Byron.
I assumed that was a sort of symbol of interest or intent to marry (sort of like how one might have gentleman callers in certain types of high class society settings) but not so much a binding contract to such.
You’re not alone. I’m quite sure the way the phrase was used was intended to imply as much, and that may even be what it is supposed to signify.
But even if so, that does not necessarily a marriage make.
Okay, Here’s hoping that this kinder, gentler Best is as badass in battle as his first incarnation. Wav was badass, but still not as good as OB (Original Best); however, his innocence and caring made up for it. So I’ll reserve my judgement for his first fight as New Best.
I do hope Best can still bring his original cockiness to battle at least. A good bard should be able to demoralize the enemy with a few well placed verbal put downs. Things like:
You suck guy, I’m the better guy! or What’s the matter guy, a guy got your tongue?
It seems that his change in attitude has turned out for the Best (pun intended), but if he was still more like his original, he’d probably be thinking of singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjWe31S_0g
Awwwww, Best grew up!
Shut up! I don’t have something my eye, YER MOM has something in my eye…wait. No. Damnit.
Nice to see character development not rooted in punching. Thanks.
As someone who is fluent in two languages, conversational in a third, and knows key phrases in a hanful of others, that last panel is basically my life.
Will you take an old dead but living once more berserker soul, that may or may not eat our plausible children (not sure how that seed thing works yet) in marriage?
Is Byron proposing to Fr’Nj? I sorta kinda thought they were already married.
But then again death legally ends a marriage, so

Oh. Maybe I have a crude mind, but I assumed Varryn was elfish for hymen.
Ditto

That would have made Byron’s status as Syr’Nj’s “varryn-bearer” kind of…
For once, I’m trying to create a mental image, but even the dirtiest corners of my mind are drawing a blank.
Awl I can think of is that Byron’s desire to auger and kiss ‘er eventually lead to Syr’nj having a large bore knotty hole.
My mind grinds to a halt when I try to picture what her varryn is, that he’s supposedly carrying around.
Ugh, the link bug still exists. Ch 8 Pg 3.
The varryn was Syr’Nj asking Byron to go steady, basically. They go on a date on the next page.
Hmm, at the mention of going steady, I can’t help but imagine Byron in a greaser jacket and Sure in a poodle skirt.
… I swear, one of these days autocorrect will make me quit commenting on my phone.
But today is NOT that day!
Nor will tomorrow!
But One Day!
One Day SOON!!!
Interestingly, I can’t help reading Frigg expression as “aaaw, you dorks…”
Definitely not proposing to Fr’Nj.

You sir, have the best words.
*you guy
I took some tremendous English lessons and expanded my vocabulary bigly.
“I’m not your guy, friend!”
“I’m not your friend, buddy!”
“I’m not your buddy, pal!”
“I’m not your pal, guy!”
I see we found the Landshark bard
Best foot forward.
Buuut, I’m keeping my eye on you just the same.

He still has a badass axe (badaxe?) with him, so he’ll probably still be badass.
I had a D&D fighter-type character that I named “Hugh Baddaxe.” You’ll never guess what his weapon of choice was…
;)
It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day for a green wedding
Hey little sister, what have you done?
You chopped an arm off, now you’ve only one!
*polite golf clap*
“Dibs on being the Best man!”
I’m too sober for this rn

alternative theme song;)
no idea how to embed it, sorry :/
“Stop that, stop that! You’re not going to do a song while I’m here!”
I think that song will go a bit like this: “We are the champions, my friends…”
Awwwww, Best grew up!
Shut up! I don’t have something my eye, YER MOM has something in my eye…wait. No. Damnit.

The menfolk were chilling. The nunfolk were chilling. The green folk were chilling. And then Byron was on one knee.
Holy Fucking Shit are doing remixes now? Sweet! I always liked them as a songwriting team.
OK BUT WHEN DO WE GET THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION EVERYONE’S ASKING:
WHERE’S SUNDAR?!?!?
Personally, this is the song that comes to mind for me
